Florida State completed its third scrimmage of preseason practice on Tuesday morning and once again there were plenty of fireworks on both sides of the football. But head coach Bobby Bowden seemed just as pleased with the fact that his players completed the scrimmage despite the blistering heat.

"It was murderously hot out there today," Bowden said. "The kids sticked pretty good. I was afraid to run them. I called the running off after practice because they got plenty of conditioning during the scrimmage. We did some good things out there, the offense moved the ball pretty good and the defense made stops when they had to make stops."
